Omar Ritter: Making Mental Health an Everyday Conversation

After graduating from West Point, Omar Ritter’s rock-solid military career plan took an abrupt turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during a routine Army physical. This turn caused Omar to pursue and obtain his MBA, begin his Doctorate, and make a career pivot to Corporate America - ALL WHILE quietly battling PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety for over 2 decades. Tune in, as Omar & Aubrey talk about: - Overcoming the stigma of military leaders fighting PTSD and Depression - The importance of advocating for yourself to doctors when you don’t feel quite right. - Omar’s lessons learned in his switch to working in Corporate America - Omar’s urge for Mental Health conversations to become an everyday topic; and urge for Veterans to not suffer alone. - Insights from his book, “West Point to Wall Street:  My Journey to Mental Wellness”.  To connect with Omar, or learn more about his great work, visit www.omarritter.com Our channel features inspiring video conversations with extraordinary guests who share their stories of overcoming adversity, personal growth, and self improvement.
